It's the Naylor Review - a dry 46-page NHS estate rationalisation study published two months ago.

So why has this boring-sounding document become news now?

And should be worried about it?

What is the Naylor Report?

Jeremy Hunt asked for the report on land sales to be drawn up(Surrey Advertiser)

Well, technically it's called the Naylor Review.

It is a 46-page report published on March 31 by Sir Robert Naylor, former boss of the NHS trust that runs University College London Hospital.

Tory Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt asked him to look independently at what should be done with 'surplus' NHS property and crumbling old buildings.

Now, in the main bit of Sir Robert's dossier, he recommends selling around £2billion of NHS land to build 26,000 homes. This could hit £5billion if extended to "high-value" sites in London.
